Al-Hodeida and What is After
Direct international interference to steer the war wheel was done under the notion of protecting the region although it is done for establishing international interests and influences. This war is being used to serve the inputs and outputs of the western strategy in fighting terrorism.
The war is under a religious title, not a nationalistic one, although its goals are not religious. Most of this war’s tools are religious and rely heavily on clear religious vocabulary. This is clear in Al-Houthi speech against the Salafist speech as both parties are involved in this war through their loyal members and their orators.
Muslim Brotherhood is fighting two wars, not one. They fight Al-Houthis under cover of the legitimacy. And from inside the legitimacy, they fight all other powers hoping that they can dominate the country in the future and to force a de facto over all other powers with minimal loses in its organizational body and militias.
During this war, terrorism and anti-terrorism war are being recycled for establishing future international interests. This will serve international powers to achieve the zero-cost equation while fighting peoples will suffer the most severe cost as they will destroy and kill each other just to establish foreign interests in their homelands.
Anti-terrorism war strategy will fight terrorism with Sunni powers and of course their will relieve pressure over Sunni incubators. If these Sunni powers fail to deter terrorist powers, Shiite powers will follow-up as in the case of Syria and Iraq. This will increase the cost over Sunni power unless they fight terrorist wings, both Sunni and Shiite, or else, the other alternative is still available.
Goals of this war can never allow any party to win. Both parties are being used as war fuel until they become too weak to force their agendas or even threat post-war international interests map.
Al-Hodeida battel is an indicator for what will come next when this map is being drawn. This map is not like what we think. Power will be defined according to position near or far from international interests. Al-Houthis will remain as a reserve strategic weapon, a pin in the back of oil states in the first place and as an insurance policy that grants seriousness of anti-terrorism war.
This will lead Salafist powers to widen their efforts to achieve the two missions at the same time. But United Nations will play a mysterious role in identifying major and minor headlines of the issue through changing terms of treatment according to what is achieved on the ground of international strategy. In this stage, indicators reveal that candidates supported by UN are soft powers under the notion of NGOs. This clearly indicates that this stage is a stage of gathering data not producing solutions. Now is not the time of direct solutions till blood borders are established under the titles of Al-Houthis and Terrorism.
